This is a wine that I frequently see recommended as a good pizza wine. That's exactly what we had with it last night. The color was ruby red, with some purple highlights. The nose was dominated by red fruit. It's pretty light bodied and easy drinking, with flavors of soft red berries. It is probably a bit lighter that we generally prefer, but it did go well with the flavors in the pizza.
The Santa Cristina is primarily Sangiovese, with 10% Merlot.
